He was enshrined into the Radford High School and Emory & Henry Halls of Fame. Perhaps the best quote from the article is "he has a 100-percent graduate rate for his student-athletes who have completed their eligibility at Wofford."

"Ultimately, you are not defined by your height, weight, or speed; you'll be defined by your heart, you'll be defined by your passion." Coach Mike Ayers

The Wofford community is very fortunate to have Mike Young. I am now sincerely glad tht Wofford showed patience with Young back when the program was struggling some under him. They showed more patience than I know I would have and it has paid off tremendously. Wofford now has one of the best mid-major programs in the country. Congratulations Coach Young and I hope we are able to keep you as a Terrier a lot longer.
